Washington, D.C., 1976
Kabul, 1976

The Secretary of State traveled to Kabul in 1974 to meet with President Daoud about the future of
U.S.-Afghan initiatives. In return, Daoud sent his brother Mohammed Naim to Washington, D.C., as a Special Envoy in 1976. Kissinger traveled to Kabul a month later for continued discussions. During this period, USAID began projects to build health clinics and primary schools in rural areas of Afghanistan.
